What are you doing today?

[NorthernLight]

I am much embarrassed by my own age error. I mean't 89, not 98. I thank you all for the salutations but wanted to correct my error.

A common mistake. I'm 70, but most people don't believe me when I say I'm 7. Happy birthday!

Meeting my local language partner for Spanish practice. A bit of grocery shopping.

Since any outing throws a wrench into the works, I'll use this as an excuse to go one more day without exercise. Back on track tomorrow, I hope.

This evening, conversation with my long-distance language partner.

Organizing. Only thing is by the time I get finished it will be time to start over. Keeps me busy though.

"Leave your tie off, lighten up!" That was the text message that I read on my phone as I unplugged it from the charger this morning. Today at work, there will be something of a party, strictly no alcohol mind, being a logistics company with drivers calling in and drivers leaving, all day long, an alcohol ban is a must. So what shall I wear? Leave my tie off? Seriously?

"Go in your maroon blazer and buy one of those white Santa beards," suggested my other half. "That's a good idea," I replied, "but I don't have a red fedora," I said. But the lady's suggestion inspired me. My usual attire is that of pin stripe suit, effective and business like. The two tone shoes and hat, well they have got used to them over time. Today someone might just utter a whispered swear word, I will be disappointed if they don't.

Still pretty darn impressive!

@horseless carriage Bet they’re wondering what your at-home casual attire is. Now that I think about it, so am I.

It's soo cold here today.. I have never ever worn my Robe during the day at home... but today I have 3 layers of clothing on.. AND I've had to put my big fluffy robe on over my clothes... What a sight.. I look about 20 stones ( 280 pounds)... but it's super warm..

It's dark now at 5.15 pm been dark for over an hour .. getting colder by the minute -1 currently.. the snow has completely iced over and I could see people slipping and sliding everywhere ..I'm glad I'm not going anywhere..

Delivery man has just dropped off some fingerless grip gloves for me to use indoors..

Finished working on the backhoe, and truck. Going over the trailer now, and loading up everything for the trip down to the eastern slope to pick up my new to me milling machine tomorrow. About an eight hour round trip, and should be a nice drive for me and the dog. A lot of beautiful scenery on this route over two 11,000 foot passes supposed to be cold, and no snow.

Quite dapper you are.

Well thank you kind Sir. In my wardrobe is another, made to measure blazer. After today's reaction I am more than tempted to wear it to work tomorrow. Forget the more than, I am going to wear it. My guess is that the reaction is due mostly to the style. Who do you know who wears double breasted striped blazers?

Ready or not.........

 

[NorthernLight]

A festive red tie. How could they object to that?

Your reply reminds me of when I used to call my husband at his store, he was always organizing. Organizing was a thing with him too....he was never really finished.

 

[NorthernLight]

Forgot ... Before I go out, I have to clear sNOw off the car. I don't think this year will be as bad as last year. Now that was something else!

When I get home, I'll lint roll all the bedding I washed. A cotton blanket deposited fluff all over everything.

You and your lovely wife have such great style @horseless carriage. One of my favourite music videos is the very stylish Kevin Rowlands and the Dexys, you and Mrs HC always remind me of this.

thank you all for the salutations but wanted to correct my error.

Please happily keep every one of the salutations, Dave,

and toss out the embarrassment part, into the trash. We are all doing those sorts of errors, and speaking for myself, increasingly moreso than ever before.

 

[Kaila]

By the way, @DaveA
Thanks for sharing that with us.

If it's red, Holly, then you look like someone......i don't want to mention the name, but he's known for being Jolly!

Have at it. I like the style and the colors.

Just called a local vision center to make an appointment. I had been using Walmart and was not happy there. I am finding my close vision is starting to suck. I am going in January

I need to do the same, close and distance vision is way worse. It has been almost 2 years since I last got new glasses. I go to Americas Best. I have vision insurance but I can get glasses there cheaper even without insurance.

cheeky... no it;s not red..

Red is a good color for @hollydolly by her avatar. I wish I could get away with red!!

I got out as soon as the stores were open this morning hoping to avoid the crowds. Seems everyone had the same idea. Anyway I was successful in getting a gift card from Home Goods for my neighbor. I also went to the SAS shoe store to see if they had any shoes that looked more stylish than practical. When I walked in a clerk said their computer system had been down for two days and I could certainly browse but they couldn’t sell me anything. Terrible time for computer problems. You would think there would be a better backup plan than waiting for corporate to send a tech to fix the problem.
